“Liya? What are you reciting? I couldn’t understand some of it.” Cecilia held Liya’s left hand, speaking gently.
“Maybe you’re just nervous. It’s okay, Liya. These are all sisters here, nothing will happen.” Alice held Liya’s right hand, equally gentle.
Both women shared remarkably similar thoughts: ‘Little Liya is still a child, so he must be nervous and scared of meeting so many people! I have to help him!’
And the Liya held in their palms was thinking:
‘Damn it! Too close! Don’t these women have any sense of feminine reserve?! I’m a man! And now they’re dragging me to a bath—terrifying! It’s precisely because they’re all women that it’s so scary! Do I look like some lecher pretending to be a girl to sneak into the women’s dormitory and bathe with them? No! Damn it!’
“By the way, Liya, you need to take off your blindfold when you bathe.”
“Otherwise it’ll get wet…”
In an instant, Liya pressed down firmly on his blindfold with lightning speed, his voice unshakable:
“Don’t even think about it! This is my last fortress! I will never allow you to touch it!”
If Liya could have seen Cecilia’s expression at that moment, he would have broken out in a cold sweat. It was an expression of such tenderness, such affection.
“Alright, I understand. Then we won’t take it off… Take your time; big sister will take care of you, Liya.”
Suddenly hugged?! Too sudden?! Feeling Cecilia’s ample bosom, Liya sensed a faint bloody smell rising in his nose. ‘This is terrifying—absolutely terrifying. Are all girls this scary? In my past life, my close friends were all noble and elegant, treating each other with respect. What is going on?!’
The changing room of the bathroom was a very standard public facility: rows of metal lockers stacked together, paired with benches, much like a swimming pool changing room. Of course, the lockers required a student ID to open, and in fact, without a student ID, life throughout the academy was quite inconvenient. Because of such a public setting, just stepping into the bathroom made Liya’s skin crawl.
“Eep! Don’t just hug me all of a sudden!”
“Hehehe, I didn’t expect Xiao Ai’s development to be so good! Come here, let big sis touch…”
“Mmm! Stop, stop messing around! We still need to do homework after washing!”
“It’s fine, there’s plenty of time for homework!”
It had to be said, just hearing these sounds, even with the blindfold, Liya already felt as if his nose was bleeding, his whole head spinning. But relying on the perseverance of a martial artist, he forcefully roused his spirits. At the same time, he concentrated all his senses except sight to sense the people around him…
This was no joke! If he bumped into someone while walking, how awkward would that be?! Remember, this was a changing room—girls wouldn’t be wearing clothes here! Contact would be terrifying. Liya felt that at the brink of a cerebral hemorrhage as he was, such a situation would likely make him faint on the spot.
“…Hang in there! It’ll be fine!”
Alice and Cecilia went to undress. Liya immediately used his martial artist’s agility to slip away from them, found the least crowded spot, opened his locker with lightning speed, and took out what he had carefully prepared from his bag.
“Hehehe, good thing I’m smart. I prepared a contingency plan. Here it is!”
After making full preparations, Liya leisurely left the changing room. Although many people pointed at him along the way, it didn’t matter. Liya told himself he had long since mentally prepared. Now there was something more important to do. He calmed his mind and held his breath, beginning to sense his surroundings.
Finally, he reached a gratifying conclusion.
‘As expected! This place, just like the men’s bathhouse from my past life, has separate shower stalls! Great!’
Liya rushed forward immediately, knocking on every stall until he finally found an empty one with the door open. Overjoyed, he dashed in before Alice and Cecilia could find him, then turned and locked the door…
“Phew…finally done.”
Only then did Liya breathe a sigh of relief and also come to a realization.
‘I see. So taking a bath as a girl is this troublesome. No wonder my close friend in my past life always spent twice as long bathing as I did. I used to complain about her. Looking back, it was my fault…’
Recalling his past life, Liya couldn’t help but show a gloomy expression. He had been reborn, but whether his former close friend or disciple, they had likely turned to dust long ago…
Shaking his head, Liya dispelled the gloom in his heart and perked up again. The past was past. Besides, it wasn’t absolute. His close friend was better at health preservation than he was; perhaps she was still alive? As for his only disciple, he wasn’t purely human either and should live longer.
If fate allowed, they might meet again someday.
Turning on the shower, a stream of cold water poured over Liya’s luxuriant golden hair. The sensation gradually eased the excitement that had been building since earlier.
‘Heaven help me. If I stay in a place like this, I’ll surely die of a cerebral hemorrhage one day.’
Only after completely calming down did Liya turn on the hot water.
At the same time, he took off his blindfold. Hot steam mixed with the water enveloped his body. Though comfortable, Liya had to face what he had been avoiding:
Skin as fair as pearls, slender limbs, a already formed slim waist, a height of about 1.2 meters, and a delicate face reflected in the water—no matter how you looked at it, he was a pretty loli like a doll. Anyone who saw this appearance would understand that this girl would grow into a rare beauty.
“Damn it.”
No matter how he looked at it, Liya found this form displeasing. No muscles at all, unable to eat much, and despite strenuous exercise, no muscle growth—this body was completely useless. The only thing that gave Liya some comfort was his chest, which matched his past life’s characteristic: practically nonexistent. Although theoretically it had room to grow, Liya prayed that it wouldn’t develop in the future.
After all, in his past life, his close friend often complained that the two lumps on her chest got in the way during martial arts training.
Looking at his own body, Liya suddenly had an extremely bizarre thought.
“…”
He cautiously looked around, confirmed that the bathroom door was securely locked, then took a deep breath and took action.
He reached his right hand down between his legs…
The result was:
“What? No sensation at all.”
Liya sighed in disappointment. So what he’d read in certain unnamed publications from his past life was unreliable. Didn’t they say touching that place would bring something special? All lies… No, wait.
“Could it be that I’m still too young?”
Liya suddenly felt an urge to find a crack in the ground to crawl into.
Bang, bang, bang! Bang, bang, bang!
“Liya! Are you in there?!”
“Eeeek!!!”
‘Scared me to death! Who knocks suddenly like that at a time like this?! Don’t they know it can cause a heart attack?! I almost slipped—no, nothing.’
The voice from outside was very familiar, undoubtedly Cecilia.
